Dutch Farmers Ignite Worldwide Anti-Globalist Uprising

Dutch farmers have been blocking highways, supermarkets, and food distribution centers for the past week over a policy similar to what we could soon see in Canada. Farmers across the Netherlands are protesting rules requiring them to reduce nitrous oxide emissions by 50% by 2030. It’s a move to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but will also see them lose money, have lower crop yields, and force some farms to close for good.

In Canada, the Trudeau government is moving forward with a plan to reduce emissions from fertilizer by 30% to help meet Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions targets. For most farmers, that means reducing fertilizer usage by 30%, which means lower crop yields, lower income for farm families, and higher prices for families at the grocery store.
